NASA’s SpaceX Crew-2 Astronauts Advance Research in Space

After more than six months aboard the International Space Station, the astronauts of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-2 mission are returning home. The four crew members -- NASA astronauts Shane Kimbrough and Megan McArthur, JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Akihiko Hoshide, and ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Thomas Pesquet -- will travel back to Earth inside a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule. These crew members contributed to hundreds of scientific investigations and technology demonstrations while aboard the orbiting laboratory. This valuable scientific research helps to prepare humans for future space exploration missions while generating numerous innovations and benefits for humanity on Earth. Here is a look at some of the scientific milestones accomplished during the Crew-2 mission. https://go.nasa.gov/3bygmel
